    Long story short should I buy or lease the 2016 tacoma. I own my own pest control company in Los Angeles and have been doubling revenue every year this is the start of my 4th year. the reason I want to lease is to keep payments low as possible because business will only keep getting better for me I want to buy the truck off at the end of lease because I drive 5,000 miles a month and will be going way over my miles by the end of the lease. And before everyone tells me what I'v heard that the interest will be more then buying it from the beginning keep in mind by the end of the third year I will buy it out cash. Also I want to eventually trade in my Nissan 370Z this year in hopes to lease another car most Likely a 50-70k luxury car so I figure a lease will show on paper that I only ow so much so I can have more available credit to get the car I really want for my self.

    Last part I really want to order the Tacoma to my specs and was wondering how much the dealers charge for a 3 inch lift if it's worth it or not please help

    Don't purchase a lift through the dealer. Installing a lift yourself, or having a shop do it, will not void your warranty. The dealer must prove that the aftermarket part caused the failure.

    If you can afford to buy, it's cheaper in the long run.

    I have to agree. Buy it and if you want a lift do not have dealer install it

    I leased my truck, only because I never owned one before and didn't know if I would like it. Of course, I love it. My plans are as follows:

    Make the 36 payments of $4XX
    Purchase the truck - refinance for 3 years - estimated payment of $4XX

    Total payments made - 72... just like a purchase. And, I have the option of saying after three years, nah I don't want to keep it and turning it in and walking away with 0 negative equity.

    For me, I drive 3.5 miles to work 4 days a week and occasional errands, less than 1k miles a month. A lease makes sense. For you, I would recommend buying just due to the miles if nothing else.

    I also lease my Taco. I want to take the family camping this summer. I have leased other Toyotas but this is my first PU. I drive mostly in the city, but got tired of being mistaken as a UBER car in my Avalon.
